Teehee, I stepped on it twice just for the hell of it!!! LOL!
So you were the little girl with her brother dancing on and off the 3rd rail then
getting shouted at by some enthusiasts.
Only joking,
I went there and found it to be a good event, had the chance to look into the Class 20 cab that was there.
Wasn't too bothered about the steam there, I was more interested in the modern stuff like the 50s, 442s, the slamdoor stock, 07, 52 and 55, not to mention the 59s as well.
Had some fun at Eastleigh station thanks to some people, a DBS 66 came in and you should see how excited they got running down the entire length of the platforms to photo it!
I had fun getting there though and back.

First time on the 165/166s, had a chat with one of my FGW colleagues as well as a chat with one of the SWT guards who used to live in Peterborough.
The 444s seem to be okay apart from the excessive squealing that they make when they leave the station, is this normal?
